junk
I bought two through Amazon in April. One died in 15 days the other in 90 days. This phone is junk. Before total failure the phones were sub-standard: inaudible speaker phone, bad RJ-11 jack (loose), talking caller ID cannot be understood, and even the cradle is poorly designed (requires precise placement just to hang-up). In short: all bad -- keep looking.
PS -- No way to assign zero stars hence the one star.

Dissatisfaction
I am totally dissatisfied with my purchase. I ordered a big-button talking telephone. It does not have the big-buttons as requested, and yes it does talk, but the language can not be understood at rimes.

Cool product
Really like the talking caller ID, but you cannot turn off the talking part, you can turn off the ringer at night, but it will still announce who is calling. The talking part is cool, if I am not near the phone I can just listen to who is calling and whether or not I want to run and answer the call or not. You can also add numbers and names to phone book and the talking caller ID will then use the name you have in phone book. So all in all I am very pleased with the phone, we just unplug it at night so it will not wake us.

good service
this is a good phone but it does not say the number. it only says whatever name pops up

Like this phone
We bought this phone to replace an older, non CID phone and are very pleased with this product. We use it as a wall mount in our kitchen and it fits well with the decor.

Functionality is good and it performs very well although the speaking part sounds like a robot and is sometimes hard to understand because the words are phonetically spoken and some names are just hard to pronounce.

Some people might not like this but we just laugh when it misses a name, not a big deal to us. One thing that has surprised us is how many people are "private callers". Apparently lots of our friends enjoy their anonymity. It says "private caller" and "out of area" (non-CID) very well.

Speaker phone is a little low even with volume all the way up, although the only time I tried it was during a party, maybe the noise drowned it out.

All in all would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a similar product.
